Fifties! It's Vegas! Large of nork = hopefully killer waist.

Vivienne of holloway go up a size or two to accommodate boobs and get a local dressmaker to take it in...

Budget?

Sorry , I don't know how to do links.

If you are petite with big boobs you need something with a defined waist.

Do you want short or long? I think mid length would make you look shorter.

You also need the highest heels you can walk in :)

I don't know what your budget is so here's something inexpensive to start with. With your height and figure I think you would suit something figure hugging. I think this is quite sassy www.coast-stores.com/fcp-product/2143439905

Fallon that's lovely.

love these posted by another mumsneter I thought some of these styles are beautiful

tethersend · 24/01/2014 08:07

Since I don't know your budget and I can go crazy how about something like this with pointy satin stilettos and Priscilla Presley hair?

Vegas luxe.

cocoblu · 24/01/2014 08:22

thankyou so much for all your auggestions, budget ia £400 max, if it's even better,

I love the vivienne of Holloway dresses so will definitely check those, The bombshell bridal dresses, they are gorgeous but over budget Sad
luckily, I have a small waist so im hoping the T dress style suites, its also got to be practical in that I have got to get it to vegas and back again!

Unexpected, who makes your first dress above? the lace one with the waist?

burnishedsilver · 24/01/2014 09:31

I looooove this dress from coast. It could look very mad men with the right make up and accessories.

there are some a bit similar to the bombshell ones on pretty dress co. for cheaper this is vegas-y to me…have a browse on there.

I'd second the Vivienne of Hollway recommendation. Go into the shop if you can - the staff are lovely and helpful. If you're ordering online be warned their sizes and old fashioned (i.e small!) and you'll probably need a size bigger than you'd chose in a high street shop.

More expensive but lovely - how about Candy Anthony candyanthony.com? They've got a sale on...

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 24/01/2014 11:41

LadyGardeners it's from that blog I linked to - scroll down and you will see it.

shelldockley · 24/01/2014 11:42

I love the Suzannah dress tethers posted, there is also a one shoulder dress on there that looks like it would suit your figure well, over budget though. I've got it in my head now that you would suit strapless or one-shoulder for some reason.

There's a plain strapless Coast dress that could be cute, it wouldn't be so short on you.

You could look at bridesmaid dresses, these are often available in white/ivory (if that's what you want), short lengths are easier to find and they're cheaper.

Going on the one-shoulder theme this is nice, if you're short it might be nice to have something fitted?

There's also some nice bridesmaid dresses here available in pale colours.

One word of warning looking at the bridesmaid sites though, when I was looking for my wedding I found it very hard to find the actual dresses I like somewhere local where I could see them in the flesh, they have lots of UK stockists, but tracking down the actual dresses can be a nightmare. It's all too easy to find nice dresses online and fall in love, not so easy to find them irl!

cocoblu · 24/01/2014 16:50

its funny that you have suggested one shoulder dresses as I do like that style and know it suites me,
Im going to have a good look at all your suggestions, total dress heaven!
I think I need a trip to London is gping to be needed for some serious dress shopping Smile
